Israeli Strikes in Lebanon Kill Three, Injure Several

Israel frames the attacks as strikes on Hezbollah-linked weapons smugglers, drawing renewed calls from Europe to preserve the 2024 ceasefire.

Overview

  • Lebanon’s health ministry reported three fatalities on Saturday in separate Israeli drone and air strikes in southern and eastern areas.
  • Lebanon’s National News Agency said two brothers from Shebaa died after their SUV was hit on a road on the slopes of Mount Hermon.
  • Officials said a strike in the southern village of Baraashit killed one person and wounded four, and a separate drone attack near Salah Ghandour Hospital in Bint Jbeil injured seven.
  • The Israeli military said the Shebaa strike targeted smugglers from the Lebanese Resistance Brigades, and spokesperson Avichay Adraee reported an engineer linked to Hezbollah was killed in Barashit and two weapons smugglers were hit in the Beqaa Valley.
  • European Commission spokesman Anouar El Anouni urged preserving the ceasefire as reporting describes near-daily Israeli operations since late 2024.
